"When asked about the provincial competition, Fairbairn said, ‘The competition will be extremely tough but I think most of the swimmers have a shot at making the finals or consolations and some have an out- side shot at a medal including a couple of relay teams.” A very special congratulations goes out to Sandry Hartman for winning the Cora Lea Schuepfer Memorial for all of her hard work and dedication to the sport of swimming. Congratu- lations also to the Beaver Valley Dolphins for winning the Sportsman- ship Trophy and to Alex Hartman for winning the Russell Beattie Memor- ial Trophy as the top Div. 6 Boy breaststroker.

Hydro and the provincial government are taking steps to en- sure that archaeological resources and recreational lands will be pro- tected from overuse by the public at “Koocanusa Reservoir near the U.S. border. “‘Lake Koocanusa is not only a popular destination for fishermen and renowned for its abundance of kokanee, it also has many important archaeological sites,"’ Colin Gurn- seys, Hydro’s recreation land man- agement supervisor, said in a pre- pared release. The Ministry of Municipal Affairs, Recreation and Culture and Hydro are sponsoring the Kootenay Area Indian Council in a project designed to enhance the management of these sites. & “Lower than normal water levels have exposed several sites normally underwater at this time of year,"’ ex- plains Gurnsey. This situation raised the concern of the Kootenay residents, who fear severe damage from the activities of illicit artifact collectors. Exposure of the sites provide a unique opportunity to learn more about the impacts of recreational ac- tivities and reservoir operations. Hydro and the Ministry of Parks also will provide basic park facilities for public use at this popular fishing spot. The reservoir became a favorite destination for fishermen after sev- eral hundred kokanee fry accidentally escaped from the Kootenay Trout Hatchery near Wardner in 1979. Since then their population has ex- ploded in Lake Koocanusa. Low water levels combined with excellent fishing will put extra pres- sure on the resource this year, Gurn- sey says. Hydro is providing money for the immediate provision of a well, infor- mation signs, toilets, a fire station and 10 camp sites, while the parks ministry is taking responsibility for long-term management. Eventually the site will become a class A pro- vincial park. (~~ FLYER CORRECTION Blueberries, Canada No. | should have read 10 Ib. Case, not 11 lb. Price $9.47/Case.
